Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Keysher Fuller, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Kendall Waston has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - It’s high time Luis Suarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 42' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 42.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Miki Yamane on 44.
  • 46' - Takuma Asano is replacing Ayase Ueda for the Japan side.
  • 51' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 56' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Daniel Chacon suffering a number of foals already.

  • 76' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
